This week on Bad With Money, Gaby talks to author and former debt collector Paco De Leon about "finance for the people," democratizing money knowledge, and spreading as many "secrets" as possible. Then, they speak to comedian River Butcher about the concept of a "day job," how to make and keep money as a creative person, and an anti-capitalist and non-normative view of finance.

A stay-at-home mom writes in with a passion for life insurance for caregivers and a teacher points out the importance of public service student loan forgiveness. Then, some nice Facebook and Instagram comments from newbies. Plus, a listener in Texas responds to the CNN Business poll saying some states have "returned to pre-pandemic job levels" by pointing out that that information is a BIG oversimplification. The Discord shares advice about asking for tuition reimbursement, not just student loan reimbursement, from their job's HR departments. And finally, do you miss seeing your co-workers every day?
